What's In A Name?

July 21, 1986

The Villages of Bramalea, a 308-acre housing development in south Lake County, will be given a new name later this summer. Developer Richard Pooley said the decision to change the name was made after his company, Pooley-Troyan Inc., was threatened with legal action by Bramalea Ltd., a multibillion-dollar Canadian conglomerate that didn't like its name lent to the development. That's not the only snag hit by the Villages, however. Construction on the complex was stopped in May when developers ran out of money. Pooley would not say what name the complex would be given when construction resumes.
